What coast in the US has the highest risk of earthquakes?
The West Coast of the United States, particularly California, has the highest risk of earthquakes. This is primarily due to the presence of the San Andreas Fault and other tectonic boundaries. The region experiences frequent seismic activity as the Pacific and North American tectonic plates interact. As a result, major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco are particularly vulnerable to significant earthquakes.
Why are San Francisco and the Bay area at risk from a powerful earthquake?
San Francisco has been built on a fault line called the San Andreas Fault. It is a fracture in the crust of the Earth. San Francisco sits on the edge of the pacific tectonic plate. The pacific tectonic plate collides with the North American tectonic plate, causing earthquakes. San Francisco also has soft soils so it's very easy for an earthquake to happen that causes bad damage.
